Do you raise your own cattle? Seriously, where do you buy your meat? Cause I want to buy those steaks.

I haven't found a place where I can buy high end pieces of meat that the top steak houses get. And I've tried everywhere. About the best I've found I can buy is from Whole Foods. And their Filets are $26/lb. And those cuts aren't as good as steak houses get.

Now if you're comparing your steaks to somewhere like Outback, I'd believe you. You can get better cuts of steak from Walmart than Outback serves. Just curious though, I'm a steak fan, but can't afford to eat well like Ike.

And if Ike's eating fish out, why the heck would anyone want to cook fish at home? It stinks up your house. Let the restaurant do the stinking for you. I always eat fish out, just like Ike.

Flippy, I am not comparing to steaks at Outback. I actually think, contrary to many, that their steaks suck. Not that they just aren't superior, but they actually suck. When I order filets there, they flat out suck. They are chewy, and that's their best steaks. As a matter of fact, I find Long Horn to be better than Outback. Their porterhouses are decent, and huge. I am comparing my steaks to places like Ruth Cris. We have one right down the road, and, even though expensive as hell, I still think my filets are just as good, if not better, than theirs. The one place that _MAY_ out do me is called Charley's in Orlando. They are often cited in the top 5 or 10 of best steak houses in the country. They don't just raise their own cattle, but they grow their own crops that they feed to their cattle! And in order to be employed with them, you always start at the bottom, which is in the green house, growing crops to feed the cattle. Any how, I get my steaks at a grocery store called Winn Dixie, usually at the actual meat counter. If not on special, they go for $17 a lb. Two filets usually end up right around $17-$20. I throw them on the grill, and sometimes top them with a butter/blue cheese mix (although not always, as they are good enough as is without anything on them). These steaks melt in your mouth. Each bite is heavenly.
